Capcom did say they had some 2015 titles still to reveal iirc so it could very well be this year.

Sorry bro but we might actually get a fantastic game out of this.....unlike BOF6.

I still hate the fact in Dark Arisen they removed the Original Theme song.

Dragon's Dogma was made for multiplayer, I think this could be so fun. I just hope they do f2p right.
I think thats even worse than F2P. I really hate japanese devs for doing this to western fans.
The original theme song was... the absolute worst. The heck are you smoking
OT: Not convinced at all would be far more interested in Dragon's Dogma 2 but this could still work

The new theme was awesome. Really encapsulates the meaning of the lore and Dark Arisen.

Wait, where was this said?
EDIT: Found it, I'm not going to take a UK PR rep's word as gospel, they might just not be allowed to announce it in the west until after a certain amount of time after the Famitsu announcement or Capcom/Sony wants to save it for E3.
If by absolute worst you mean best, then sure.

Went to bed pleased because of the announcement news, woke up sad because of the updated info regarding what it actually is/release plans.
Thanks Obama.

Dangan is the best title theme song of the generation.
I'm not annoyed by F2P stuff. Whatever, that just lets me play the game while deciding how much I put into it financially. It also means I could start day 1 without having to spend any money, which is great for games that'll evolve over time, to me.
The online focus sounds fun, DD has one of the best battle systems I've ever had the joy of playing in an "Open World RPG" environment, and being able to play it with others sounds nice.
But... another Sony platform exclusive from Capcom. After starting with my Xbox One with Dead Rising 3, and then getting the greatly fun SDR3OMGWTHBBQ edition, the uncertainty of support from them is really frustrating.
RE Revelations 2 felt like a return to expected normality, but now we have this AND Deep Down skipping the console? Ugh. No need to focus on the Street Fighter Stuff, as well.
It's just disappointing. I wouldn't mind much if it was a bit more even in titles.
All that said, I'm pretty glad to see Capcom pushing for things like Cross-Platform, new delivery methods for games, big online experiences, and, of course, really working within all levels of non-phone / handheld game development. As much as the JP side of game production is abandoning console support, the fact they're doing so much to try their hand at each and every niche possible to continue delivering titles is pretty great. Reminds me of how much I liked their early Wii and XBLA support; they seem to be one of the best JP companies when it comes to trying new avenues.
So this leaves me feeling rather conflicted. I've had a PS3 and Vita for years now, but even with them, I don't like building friends on Sony's platforms. My friends are on Xbox. Even if I do get a PS4 by the time this game possibly makes it West... I won't be able to play it with the people I'd want to. Argh.
Ultimately though... yay to more Dragon's Dogma! Still one of my favorite experiences of the previous Gen, and the only large free roam Action RPG this side of Ys that feels absolutely great to PLAY.

It seems Capcom just wants to continue my love hate relationship with them.
I love the idea of DD with your buddies replacing pawns. I've had that idea since some of my first epic battles in the very first release.
I hate F2P. I'd rather just buy a game. I don't want this to fuck up what could have been something excellent. Not that they would even release the game in this hemisphere.
Sigh. Being a Capcom fan is hard work. I really want to love them and then they do things like this.

Suffer? Let's be honest the combat and enemies are what made DD and the single player story and quests were pretty much standard MMO fair to begin with, so I'm not seeing the negatives here as long as you still have the option to go it alone with pawns.
So confirmed Sony money hats. Not surprising given it's coming for PS consoles and PC only.

This more or less sounds like what people wanted from a DD followup, minus the F2P aspect.
On the other hand, BoF6 looks to gets rid of everything that made the series what it was. (And not in the good, experimental way like Dragon Quarter)
Seconded. I cannot stop thinking of the song anytime Dragon's Dogma is mentioned.

So into this! I hope the FTP model is strong, but I'll drop some good cash on it likely even if not. Loved the first entry.

I hope it retains some aspect of single player. While playing with friends would be nice, I really don't want to do it all of the time.

Excite. Pawns are not only back but even more useful.
Also if I didn't know any better (which I don't) Shield Sage sounds like a rebranding of Mystic Knight.
For the 999999th time, they're different games.

I never understood this line of thought. They're radically different in premise, gameplay, and story. The only thing they share is that you fight a dragon and can use a sword and shield.

I'd play it.
Unless you just can't handle bad framerates.
I played through two entirely different builds. My first I got up to level 125 focusing on a warrior class build, but wasn't getting much out of it, so I started it over as a magic class character, and ended up at level 200 as a Magick Archer.
I've spent probably around 150 hours in the main game and another couple hundred just dicking around in Dark Arisen. The game is one of my favorites from the prior generation. It doesn't run all that well, but what it does well, it does better than any other RPG I've ever played. Rare to get that kind of combat in any form of RPG.
Play it, obsess over it, and then get back in here excited we might see another in any form.

Ugh, F2P....
I loved Dragon's Dogma so much though, so I guess I'll give it a try....

You can just do the missions alone. 4-man party is the maximum composition for easier run, more loots (perhaps), etc.
Absolutely.
They already got 3 games (Deep Down, DD Online and SFV). DMC5 and MVC4 incoming!

Shield Sage?
I'm fucking in.

You people talking about the original theme. I had completely forgotten it was that jrock song. lol
Listening to the one for dark arisen it's definitely better but the original wasn't bad.
Those were exclusives games for gamecube in a time when the ps2 was butchering everyone.
